I am in Louisiana visiting my cousin.

Yesterday I was up at 4:30am to travel to Houston. My flight was delayed 5 hours. Then I missed my connecting flight and my cousin drove to Houston to pick my up. it was a 3 hour drive to DeRidder, LA. We arrived around 11:00pm.

I was up at 7:30am this morning for my cousin’s doctor appointment. Considering the time change, it was an early morning). Yesterday I ate chicken strips. Today I ate a cinnamon bun. Around 1:00pm we went to Walmart to get groceries. While at the checkout I had an episode.

I started to get tired as we were walking toward the checkout. Normally I am full of energy, but I just leaned my weight on the buggy, hoping to get my energy back before my cousin finished checking through the groceries. I didn’t totally lose movement but my my eyes were watering and my legs were both too weak to move.

When my cousin finished, she pulled the buggy forward to go. I tried to walk but my legs just gave way and I gently fell to the floor. My cousin explained to those nearby that I was fine, just having an episode. I had use of my arms. About 20 seconds later I was able to wiggle my toes. As soon as I could, I jumped to my feet and we walked to the vehicle.
